20057. OhioSTOPAS - 8/25/2006 1:55:30 AM Hi, everybody!
I just posted a tragic local news story in "News & Current Events," so I thought I'd post here and let everyone know things are (otherwise) fine with the Ohios.
In fact, we are a couple of days away from being empty-nesters, as we take our youngest to college at Barnard/Columbia. (No, we're not rich, my daughter is tremendously accomplished academically and otherwise, and Barnard laid a big scholarship on her. Yes, I'm bragging about my daughter - wanna make something of it?)
We've been excited for her ever since she was accepted, and we still are, but about a week ago I started getting pangs about my little girl leaving. But she'll love it, and it will be great!
I PROMISE to spend more time in the Mote!
20058. arkymalarky - 8/25/2006 2:14:39 AM Hey Ohio! I haven't seen the News thread yet, so I hope everything's okay.
CONGRATS TO YOUR DAUGHTER!!!!! It's hard watching them go for the first time.
Please do spend more time here! 20059. wonkers2 - 8/25/2006 3:43:52 AM Great news, Ohio. You are justly proud. You and your wife must have done something right! 20060. alistairconnor - 8/25/2006 11:05:27 AM Congrats, Ohio! What's she studying? And how far from home is that university? 20061. PsychProf - 8/25/2006 3:45:11 PM Congrats to all Ohios on that news. 20062. judithathome - 8/25/2006 6:57:05 PM Add my congratulations and best wishes to the fray! (no pun...) 20063.

20064. OhioSTOPAS - 8/26/2006 12:40:13 AM Thanks, everybody!
My daughter is intending to major in Spanish and Latin American Studies, but I wouldn't be surprised if she looks around and changes.
Alistair, New York City is 560 long miles from Columbus. (We know this from many trips when my OTHER daughter was attending college - a different college - in NYC.) 20065. RickNelson - 8/28/2006 4:17:33 PM Congrats Ohio, great news for your daughter. I can relate intimately to the empty nest (at least in 2003-04) I could. Ours went to Luther for a year, then transferred up home and will be a senior this year. She's still considering her move to get into a Pharmacy program was a good choice. I'm hoping this year puts it all together for her. She's having growing pains right now, as she has finally moved out of the nest again.
We're getting along with our two year old nicely, and that's the reference to 03-04 in a nutshell. Funny how lifey, life can get and happily so. 20066. judithathome - 8/30/2006 7:23:33 PM Missing the hell outta Magos! 20067. wonkers2 - 8/30/2006 7:30:50 PM Yeah, where is she? 20068. jexster - 8/30/2006 8:34:34 PM This is fun.

I have not been to a monthly quarry meeting for two months.-- I was in Atlanta and Philly. I believe Mark Ciavarella has decided to hear new evidence, but this I learned from someone who I met at the post office. I'll say no more about this now, but I will tell you a bit of hearsay.
Mark Ciavarella was seen dining with Conrad Falvello, and a Burke (LaRock family) i.e., the opposition plus the judge who is hearing the case. I tried to get verification for this but am under the impression that I will not be able to. However, I will try again. I'll get back into the flow in September. I'd settle for the name of the restaurant, if there be one. To throw the name of a restaurant into the mix with the slightest suggestion that a secret of some kind is known will mean nothing to 99.9% of the population, but it will mean a great deal to the Shiv and Falvello.
This meeting is entirely believeable, not because the Shiv consistently decides against us, but because of Falvello's bizarre behavior at the last hearing before the Sugarloaf supervisors. No witnesses, no testimony, and a 'cat that ate the canary' look on his face. Observers were looking at eachother as if Falvello had stripped down to his underwear, danced on his desk, and mooned them. Don't tell Kevy, but the Shiv is going down. I don't think he knows that the world is changing. Even so, the Shiv remains a very dangerous man. Conahan is no better, of the same cloth, same interests, same corruption. But what would one expect after 70 years of stagnation.
Yours truly huffing and puffing,
James the Insufferable

This is why you have to come to the cafe when its open. 'Cause its real and not fake. Or, perhaps a tiny step closer to reality. 20070. alistairconnor - 8/31/2006 3:48:07 PM I hope you're changing the names to protect the guilty. They might google you, you know.
I think you should write a screenplay. 20071. uzmakk - 8/31/2006 4:08:56 PM Connor,
You and I think alike, Connor. Some times, anyway. 20072. arkymalarky - 9/1/2006 2:36:03 AM I love it. 20073. Ms. No - 9/1/2006 7:57:58 AM Do NOT fuck with the Steppe Lord! 20074. alistairconnor - 9/1/2006 8:29:14 AM Where you been, Nyetskaya? 20075. Ms. No - 9/1/2006 6:03:54 PM Let's see, when last we heard I was gainfully employed working for a smut reseller in the San Fernando Valley but getting ready to take a trip to Arkansas via Dallas to hook up with the AtHomes and the Malarkies.
So the Wednesday before I left for parts rural, the attorney for our company waltzed by my office and asked if I could come to the conference room for a minute --- they'd been in meetings all week and I assumed they needed something. What they needed was a meeting with a witness (the attorney) so they could lay me off.
They laid off the Controller and two production guys that day as well and others have gone since.
So for three days I panicked then I went to Dallas and tried to put it out of my mind. Monday evening I had an epiphany and realized I wanted to go back to school and get my teaching credential.
So, here I am six weeks later back in Sacramento after ten years, living in Midtown in a building full of cute boys, hooking up with old friends and having completed my second week of classes.
I'm having a blast. I'm so excited I constantly gush over my future plans. It's a big deal for me --- I never knew what I wanted to be when I grew up and while I still don't intend to do much growing up I actually have a goal and a plan for my life now that just revs me every time I think about it. 20076. Ms. No - 9/1/2006 6:05:41 PM I just looked at the box to my left and noticed that it is an ENZAFRUIT apple box from Hastings, New Zealand.
